Collab between Cuccoruler and DrewVonAwesome
Cia had woken up that morning in far better mood than she was in before. She had spent the past day working on her own powers getting the hang of them. Eventually though she also started to formulate certain strategies as well.
Cia looked over at Paul and smiled. "This will be fun huh?" Cia said cracking her knuckles with a smile. "I hope you took what I said into consideration yesterday, think of a full plan before you start to act." Cia added, if she was going to be working with this group she was going to have to make sure the group could come up with a plan on the fly.
"Uh I thought that was for working together not for you beating me up!" Paul stammered, already considering if he could use this against her in school. 'Yeah we're in the big superhero team and she beat me up so that is grounds for termination right?' He would say.... Still he took a deep breath. Sliding his helmet on and although he felt the butterflies flying around so hard that he swore he could feel them vomiting.
Maria had a moment of palming her face at Paul's very real hesitation. Still Paul seemed like he was ready and although she didn't know what had happened last night, she could tell something happened between Paul and Cia.
Paul stared down Cia, quickly thinking about just growing tall and stomping down on her, but she'd be expecting that right? Paul could feel the sweat beading down his forehead before she heard Maria call to both of them.
"Are you ready? Are you ready? Begin!" She clapped and gestured for the two to spar.
Cia looked at Paul with her normal unethusiastic look as she approached him. Cia had been formulating a plan since the began. Cia stretched her arm into a whip and quickly tried to whip at his face with enough force to either hurt him or stun him. She would follow the attack up by attempting to run at him. "Show me how you use that brain of yours!" Cia demanded as she enlarged her hand and tried to grab at his face.
Feeling her arm slap him across the face only caused him to stammer back because of his helmet, and when she started running at him all she got was air as Paul seemingly vanished from in front of her.
Having shrunken down he hesitated to look up, only to see her suit's undercarriage, as he stayed away from her feet to make sure he doesn't get squashed. It was insane to think how he could lose the fight that way... well the fight and his life. Paul ran out behind Cia and then back up her hind left leg, running full speed up her ankle, thigh, and butt like a flea on speed.
Cia was a bit shocked when he turned small, but then she smiled. He was using his head this time and planning out his attack. As a teacher the fact that he listened to her gave her satisfaction. "You've improved on those tactics." Cia said but then her skin started to act as if she was melting. He would have a harder time with a foot hold like that. Cia then sent a sort of wave of flesh from the top of her back down to her legs to knock him off. Her next attack would attempt to kick him towards the wall.
Watching on as the floor Cia's body was running up was turning into some weird melty blob thing. Paul had to switch tactics, hopping over and around, grabbing hold of her costume to get to her front side. Only to realize how stretchy her costume had to be. Feeling himself pulling the costume and going to the ground though gave him an idea. As soon as he reached the ground, he leaped back up to the air and using her costume like a slingshot got launched up into the air. "Woohoo!" Paul shouted from the sheer insane adrenaline rush as he soar well above Cia. Only to realize...
"Uh wait... now what?"
Cia watched as Paul launched himself into the air, then he didn't seem to have any other plans. Cia at this point transformed her body into a puddle. Atleast at first, then she shot it up to grab him and surround him in the bubble. Paul could have chosen to turn big once he was in the air and attempt to crush Cia, though Cia could have become a puddle again after that. As far as Cia saw this game going, it would be a long game of trying to catch a slippery pig.
Paul's eyes shot open watching a sudden puddle start to launch up at him. "Oh man this is fucked up." Paul could only mutter to himself before suddenly seeing a plan. Quickly he started to grow bigger and bigger. Going well past his normal height as she was coming up quick. Maybe he could crush her under his larger mass.
Cia suddenly changed shape once he grew large again. She had been waiting for him to grow large again this whole battle. Cia shifted her body into a sort of rope and while he was in the air she started to hog tie him. When he was on the ground again and she was out of the way she only had a leg left to tie down. "Your plan was good, but not good enough. You need to factor in your oppenents abilities too." Cia said using this as an opportunity to teach.
Paul slammed so hard as a giant to the ground the entire underground base shook violently, the large hero letting out a howl of pain, feeling like his body got ran over by a train. He had certainly fallen over before, but that was well beyond what any other time falling down fell like. It didn't help that Cia had started tying his arms and legs together all while giving him a lecture on planning. "When... the fuck... did you turn into... SUN TZU?!" Paul yelled struggling and getting more and more mad against such an insane but annoying moment. Yanking hard on Cia's body tying him up, only to struggle getting back up to his one leg. Spying the nearby wall and with all his might hopping backwards right into it, sticking his rear end out against Cia's stretched body.
Cia felt her body slam against a wall. It hurt quite a bit to the point where she turned into a puddle on the wall. "I may be a math teacher, but that doesn't mean I haven't studied other subjects too." Cia said turning into human size and shape again. Cia sighed looking up at him before switching to suddenly stretching her body as large as she could. "You ever played rock paper sissors?" Cia said with a smile as she came down on him like a blanket and tightened around him.
Paul stumbled to the ground, again shaking the base hard as he let out a sudden yelp in pain. Sure he got Cia off of him but he also just slammed his lower back, ass, arms, and right leg into a wall. Causing him to feel a sudden jolt of pain everywhere. When Cia called out to him Paul had started inadvertantly shrinking and couldn't help it as he clinched himself in agony. Only getting a brief moment of being blinded by lights to see a giant blanket about to drape down on him. "Shit..." was all he could mutter in response.
Cia tightened more around him and seen enough she was in human form again with Paul in her hand, a bit dazed from the lack of oxygen. "My win." Cia said before setting him down gently. "You had a good plan, but you got a bit blinded by emotions Mr. Lombardi." Cia said was she walked back towards the group. "I hope the rest of you can start thinking of your battle plans as well." Cia added.
"Oh...shut up...teach..." Paul could only get out through gasps as he laid on the ground shrunken, thankfully she couldn't hear him... at least he hoped she couldn't. Still he just wanted to lay there for a while, as he swore every muscle in his body was trying to kill him at that point.
"Well done, both of you..." Maria noted giving Cia a nodding approval. "Alright lets go with next... Mr. MacIntyre against Mr. Pierce.." Maria called out, gesturing to the two to step forward for the next fight.
